Mr. SHP says:
"Speaking of bugs, doctors had such faith in the prevailing wisdom of
the day, that they ridiculed a 19th century Hungarian surgeon named
Ignaz Semmelweiss. Who argued that doctors could pass on potentially
life threatening diseases, if they did not disinfect their hands before

an operation. Despite evidence that deaths on his ward were reduced,
Semmelweiss' findings were ignored by the conservatives that were
prevalent in the medical/scientific industry. People DIED because of
people like you, Elmir. Don't forget that.

They ***DIED***, in case you didn't get that."

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Yes, but that's true of everything I say.

The trick is not to invent more
loony-bin ideas like pinpricks in a sheet of paper with photos of
animals- fourlegged, no chicken, pigeons or centipedes- but to show
that they WORK for believers and nonbelievers alike..

You missed the point, but you always do. Semmelweiss was not able to
convince his colleagues, eternally skeptical "non believers", that his
findings were correct. Maybe he didn't have the means to do so to their
satisfaction. If he had my foolish friend, all those people on the
wards would not have DIED.

You know.... as in "DEAD"??

Are you starting to get the point, or do I have to draw a map for you
in crayon?

Instead of listening to reason, they decided "What the hell. We'll play
with people's lives, sure, who cares! Better to scoff and ridicule one
of our colleaguges than play it safe and take a chance he might be
correct and save lives! After all, potentially looking foolish is a
hell of a lot more important than SAVING LIVES!!".

By the same token, you and your friends are being equally imprudent and
irrational, by dismissing 30 second tweaks that take a fraction of the
energy to install as you put out to trying to refute them. And think of
the energy you are wasting in mustering up so much hositility towards
ideas that play with your many insecurities.

It isn't "pinpricks on a sheet of paper" that kill people (although it
certainly seems to have killed you. With embarassment, I mean). And no
silly, "centipedes, chickens and pigeons" are a stupid idea. They won't
work, they don't have a tail. No kidding you never got the tweak to
work, jeez! You probably used a picture of a porcupine to set up the
device! You're so incompetent, it's not even funny! Geez!

And so on.

Granted that would be quite difficult
in the world of subjective perceptions. So if it works for you or
Mssrs, Fella
and De Wal well and good. All kinds of things work for all kinds of
people in the world of likes and dislikes.

If someone believes that he had wonderful
intercourse with a beautiful extraterrestrial who am I to argue?

And if someone wants to believe that everything in audio sounds the
same and that principles of audio that were developed hundreds of years
ago are all we will ever understand of audio, then who am I to argue?

Oh who am I kidding, I LOVE arguing with you bigots!

It is
only when he wants to start a movement and begins to sell amulets that
one recalls the messianic movements ending in mass-suicide.

You're ridiculous. I don't recall anyone dying from wanting to BUY
PRODUCTS FROM PWB AT WWW.BELT.DEMON.CO.UK.

......At least, not that I know of.
